Backup full linux system to remotely mounted archival device (like a jump drive say)


Make a source directory like this on your destination jump drive:

/media/tim/ext4_ext/Chromebook_lubuntu18_finalbackup/
                         ^
                         |
                         +------ auto mount point for my jump drive

login to system to be backed up.

Type a command like this on the system being backed up.

$ sudo rsync -aHAXv / --exclude={"/bak1","/cdrom","/dev","/lost+found","/mnt","/proc","/run","/sys","/tmp"}  192.168.1.14:/media/tim/ext4_ext/Chromebook_lubuntu18_finalbackup

 Note: you will need a passwordless ssh login credential setup for root access into the destination system.

About Me...

My dad called me Timbocephus from time to time when I was growing up. He was a Hank Williams fan at some point I believe.

    Of course everyone recognizes the "Timbo" nickname. But going deeper into mid 20th century popular culture we find that Hank famously stuck the "Bocephus" moniker on his young son Hank Jr. There are several suggested sources for the "Bocephus" name and you can find those on line very readily if you google it.

    Having said that, I like this one best: The mysterious appellation that became part of American folklore in middle of the 20th century: Biblical/Latin Etymology: Some trace it back to a neoclassical blend of Beau (French for beautiful) and Cephas (the Aramaic name given to the Apostle Peter, meaning "stone").
